Earlier, Kuwait came under sustained attacks, with the armed forces saying they had intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones and that several firefighters and oil sector workers had been injured while responding to the attacks.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had struck a US military support center in Kuwait’s Camp Arifjan and destroyed a radar installation at Ali Al Salem Air Base. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation later said one of its oil facilities had been hit in “repeated Iranian attacks,” causing significant damage and some injuries, according to the state news agency.
